Sky News host Paul Murray says it's amazing how many of Victoria's COVID restrictions “just melted away” when Dan Andrews’ controversial pandemic bill hit a hurdle.
From 11:59pm capacity limits will be scrapped for venues across the state and there will be no limits on household gatherings.
It comes after ex-Labor MP Adem Somyurek announced he would return to parliament and vote against the pandemic powers bill.
“As we told you his vote means that it would be a tied vote of 20 votes apiece or 19 depending on whether Labor and the Liberal Party pair each other for one of them being sick,” Mr Murray said.
“So now Daniel Andrews is going to go shopping for somebody else to help him extend his pandemic powers that of course give him more power when it comes to locking down a state that is celebrating being even freer tonight.”
